Compared with the electric vehicle project that Lin Zheng just said, John. Durr was even more interested in this project, and he even thought that the value of this project was greater than the value of any electric car, so much so that he couldn't wait to ask Lin Zheng: "Lin, have you started to operate this project?" How is the project progressing? ”

Ya has even lost the demeanor of a professional venture capital manager!

Is this guy interested in this project? Lin Zheng didn't know that General Motors, EDS, and Xiuce Electric had already started to work on this thing, but that didn't prevent him from learning from John. Dürr's gaffe reaction showed that KPCB seemed to be very interested in this project, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, we are ready to start this project, the software part is ready to be jointly opened by our company and Mr. 1inuxtorva1ds, the hardware part we are ready to cooperate with Texas Instruments, which has always had a good foundation of cooperation, and as for the automotive side, we are ready to contact Ford Motor." ”

Although I don't know what year the universal onstar system was opened, since it was GM's idea, then buddy I'd better avoid GM. Boss Lin didn't know that his unintentional flash of inspiration allowed him to invisibly avoid a big trouble.

"Ford, Texas Instruments and the three of you? Well, that's pretty good," John. Duerr nodded quietly, but he pondered in his heart: Lianchuang Technology can ignore him, but Ford Motor and Texas Instruments are not bad at money, does this kind of project have a chance for KPCB to plug in? Either way, there's nothing wrong with trying to ask. "KPCB is also very interested in this project, I think we may have a chance to cooperate?"

"But I said it doesn't count," Lin Zheng spread his hands. With a look of embarrassment, he said, "This kind of thing is not something I can decide alone," after a pause, Lin Zheng added, "But if you KPCB has the intention of investing and the conditions are good, I can help you ask, but Mr. Dürr." I think you'd better not get your hopes up too much. ”

That's certainly not something you can decide alone, John. Doerr had no doubts about Lin Zheng's words: With the two giants of Ford Motor and Texas Instruments, what is a company from China? It's nice to have your voice. Want the final decision? He has even decided to report this matter to Mr. Chairman when he goes back, and compared with other information technology services, the reliability and prospects of this information technology service based on traditional automobiles are much brighter.

As for what Lin Zheng said, he didn't hold out much hope. He didn't take it seriously at all. Ford Motor and Texas Instruments are not bad for money, but no matter how bad they are, I believe they won't mind if someone sends them money, right? The only thing you need to pay attention to when KPCB is that you don't have that much appetite.

Now that you've made up your mind, John. Dürr decided to jump right in, "Mr. Lin, let me be frank, we are more optimistic about your car-based information interaction project than your car project. ”

Of course, Lin Zheng can't say that this car's information interaction project is based on the future generations of OnStar nonsense to fool people, in fact, there is no such thing at all. Only grinned, "I'm also optimistic." However, it seems that we are not short of money for this project, and I have not heard that Texas Instruments and Ford Motor have any intention of raising foreign funds......"

We are short of money on car projects, don't you understand this reason? Lin Zheng almost wanted to grab John. Dürr's collar roared, Lao Tzu is now short of money on the smartcity project!

John. Dur didn't expect Lin Zheng to say this, he couldn't say it, he was stunned, "That's it......"

……………………

John. Durr left, he was a little undecided for a while about whether to lend money to Lin Zheng, and he liked the call center in Lin Zheng's mouth more, he couldn't invest in this project, he always felt a little unwilling...... Although Ford Motor and Texas Instruments don't seem to have any intention of financing, it's man-made, isn't it?

John. Dur left, but Lin Zheng frowned and thought about the possibility of getting funds from KPCB, but ...... It seems that adding such a call center function to SmartCity can also be used as a selling point.

Lin Zheng knows very well how difficult it is for an emerging brand to gain popularity, especially this kind of car, which is more likely to cause people to worry about the safety of this kind of car.

"I think this idea is very good," Tan Na was immediately excited when she told Tan Na about this idea, and her eyes were shining when she looked at Lin Zheng, "It's just right to use our advantages in software...... Well, we can do this project with Huawei. ”

Speaking of which, Lianchuang Technology may not have any advantages in software technology, at least it is still far behind an information technology giant like EDS, but the problem is still that problem: the current Tan Na, like Lin Zheng, does not know that General Motors is ready to cooperate with EDS and Hughes Electronics to engage in the Onstar project, but the problem is that even if Tan Na is not good at forward-looking projects, she is extremely optimistic about Lin Zheng's idea...... Having been in the United States for so long, he really understands too much how much Americans are afraid of death.

"You mean we can talk to Texas Instruments and Ford about this?"

"yes, the hardware side is solved by Texas Instruments, and the software side is solved by us, which happens to be based on Ford Motor and our smartcity, you see, all aspects are there, the most basic things of this project are available, why can't we talk to them?" Tanna asked rhetorically, "As for the issue of the wireless LAN standard that we are arguing with Texas Instruments right now, it is not really our company's problem anyway...... Isn't there a saying among Americans that business is business? ”

"You're right, business is business." Tan Na's words woke up Lin Zheng, since the future generations of General Motors can operate the Onstar project well, and one business is one business, there is no reason for everyone to fight to the death in this business, so let's not talk about another business where everyone has money.

…………………………………………

"You said you want to make an on-board service system that uses wireless communication technology and GPS global positioning system to provide users with perfect wireless services?" Listening to Lin Zheng's talk, An Jibo's eyes sparkled: This thing seems to have a head?

"Yes, after installing this system in the car, if the owner needs anything, as long as one key can contact the customer service center, and the customer service center can help the owner solve the problem with voice throughout the process...... For example, in the event of a robbery, the owner secretly presses a button, and we can also help the owner call the police; When the owner of the car is in danger, we can determine the exact location of the owner through guòGPS satellite positioning, and rescue the owner of the car with the fastest degree, Mr. Angelber, what do you think? ”

An Jibo's information is obviously much richer than Lin Zheng's, he always feels that he seems to have heard this thing somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, An Jibo finally thought of what was going on: "Well, I heard that General Motors is in contact with Xiusi Electronics and EDS, maybe this is what they talked about...... But you're right, it's a good idea, we can talk to Ford, it should be a lot of pressure on Ford, well, we should sign a memorandum first. ”

The memorandum also has a certain legal effect, what if everyone has negotiated the entire framework of cooperation, and as a result, Ford Motor turns around and cooperates with other companies? The most critical thing about this thing is a creative idea, with creativity, the technical aspect to pile up, automotive electronics semiconductor hardware technology, Motorola and Delphi are also a little no worse than Texas Instruments, when it comes to software technology, there are a lot of companies stronger than Lianchuang Technology, what if Ford thinks this idea is good, and wants to monopolize most of the benefits, and directly throw Texas Instruments and Lianchuang Technology alone? It is still necessary to sign a memorandum.

"Then sign it," Lin Zheng had no opinion on this, he was concerned about another matter, "You talk to Mr. Ford about this?" ”

"No problem." Angelber agreed happily.

……………………

Angelber agreed very happily, but to Lin Zheng's surprise, Ford Motor actually agreed very happily, but within half an hour, Angelber called Lin Zheng back and told him that Ford was willing to hold a three-way meeting on this cooperation in the near future...... It's best to be these days.

What's going on? Lin Zheng, who hung up the phone, pondered for a long time, but Tan Na woke him up with a sentence: "Ford is in such a hurry, is it their competitor...... Well, is General Motors also working on such a project? ”

"I'm a pig's brain!" Lin Zheng patted his head: Nine out of nine are GM's start to work on their onstar project!

That's right, Boss Lin doesn't know exactly in which year General Motors started their Onstar project, but this does not prevent Lin Zheng from making a reasoning close to the truth based on various existing clues: himself, Lin Zheng and An Jiber may not care about General Motors' actions, but as an old rival of General Motors, Ford Motor's eyes are wide all the time, and it is understandable that he is staring at General Motors' every move, right?

Maybe it's something about General Motors? No, no, it's not that something may have appeared, but something must have appeared, otherwise Ford would not have been in such a hurry to get angry, and even said in a hurry that he would talk to himself in the next two days.
